Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to the official website of Victor Nja, accessible at thevictornja.org.

This Privacy Policy explains how Victor Nja (“Victor”, “we”, “us” or “our”) collects, uses, stores and protects personal information when you visit this website, submit an enquiry, request our services or otherwise communicate with us.

We respect your privacy and are committed to handling personal information responsibly in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023, where applicable.

By using this website, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy. Where consent is legally required for a particular processing activity, we will seek that consent separately.

2. Information We Collect

The information we collect depends on how you interact with the website and our services. It may include:

Please avoid submitting sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for a specific purpose and appropriate arrangements have been made.

3. How We Use Your Information

We may use personal information to:

• Respond to enquiries and requests for information.
• Assess project requirements and determine whether our services are suitable.
• Prepare proposals, quotations, scopes of work and project agreements.
• Communicate with clients and coordinate projects.
• Deliver, review and improve our professional services.
• Maintain business, accounting and contractual records.
• Protect the website, prevent misuse and address security concerns.
• Understand website performance and improve user experience.
• Send relevant updates or marketing communications where permitted.
• Fulfil applicable legal obligations and protect legitimate legal interests.

We will not use your information for purposes incompatible with the reason it was collected without an appropriate lawful basis.

4. Lawful Basis for Processing

Depending on the circumstances, we may process personal information based on one or more lawful grounds recognised by applicable data protection law, including:

• Your consent.
• Steps necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you.
• Compliance with a legal obligation.
• Legitimate interests, where applicable and where those interests do not override your rights.
• Other lawful grounds permitted under applicable law.

Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw that consent. Withdrawal does not invalidate processing carried out lawfully before the withdrawal.

5. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share information with service providers where reasonably necessary to operate our website or deliver our services. These may include:

• Website hosting and infrastructure providers.
• Email and communication platforms.
• File storage and collaboration tools.
• Analytics and website security providers.
• Payment processors, where payment functionality is offered.
• Professional advisers or authorities where disclosure is legally required.

We seek to limit disclosures to what is reasonably necessary and to use appropriate safeguards when third parties process personal information on our behalf.

If a project requires sharing information with a collaborator, production partner, supplier or other third party, this will be handled according to the project requirements and applicable obligations.

6. International Transfers

Some third-party technology providers may store or process information outside Nigeria.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will take steps required by applicable law to ensure that the transfer is supported by an appropriate legal basis and relevant safeguards.

7. Cookies and Analytics

This website may use essential cookies or similar technologies to maintain website functionality, security and performance. If analytics, advertising or other non-essential tracking technologies are implemented, appropriate disclosures and consent mechanisms will be provided where required.

You may be able to manage cookies through your browser settings or the website's cookie controls. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including responding to enquiries, managing projects, maintaining business records, resolving disputes and meeting legal obligations.

Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information and the circumstances of the engagement. When information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete it, anonymise it or securely dispose of it, subject to applicable legal requirements.

9. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, loss, alteration or misuse.

However, no website, online transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should avoid sending confidential project information through unsecured channels unless appropriate arrangements have been made.

• Request information about how your personal information is processed.
• Request access to your personal information.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Request deletion of personal information where legally justified.
• Object to certain forms of processing or request that processing be restricted.
